From Andrew: I’ve been making polymer clay hearts ever since I can remember selling my work. When I was a teenager, an owner of a local shop in Orlando gave me my first shot at selling my work and let me have a shelf in her store. At the checkout counter there was a little dish of polymer clay hearts that I made. We didn’t have much money then, so it allowed me to earn money for art supplies. (I also used to collect cans and turn them in for recycling.) Decades later and I’m still making hearts. I don’t make them regularly, but every now and then I’ll get a request and I try to make a few.
